During your pregnancy your body will undergo many changes, both physical and emotional, as your baby develops and your body prepares for the birth. There will be some obvious changes which you might already be experiencing; there may also be some heartburn, indigestion, morning sickness, sciatic pain, back ache and tiredness.
The gentle nature of McTimoney chiropractic makes it especially suitable for pregnant women. The treatment can enhance the health and well-being of both the mother and the developing baby. Treatment from the third month onwards, and very often after the first scan and appointment with the midwife, can help you overcome pain and discomfort and help your body prepare for the birth of your baby.
Throughout the pregnancy many of the aches and pains associated with the changes your body is going through can be helped with chiropractic treatment.
Your body may change posture as your spine and pelvis become accustomed to the heavier weight bearing as your baby grows, this may result in back, pelvis and pubic pain. Ligaments soften during pregnancy which occurs naturally during pregnancy, this aids the birthing process but may put your joints under additional stress. Realigning your spine and pelvis can alleviate some of the strain off of your joints, shoulders, lower back and legs, the areas which are most affected. Regular chiropractic treatment helps align your pelvic girdle in readiness for the delivery of your baby.
